The proposed hotel at 82 North Wall Quay will be located next to both Dublin Landings, the 1,000,000sq ft mixed-use development currently under construction by developer Sean Mulryan's Ballymore Properties and the Central Bank's new headquarters.

Construction of the new hotel is due to get under way within the next three months with a view to opening for business at the end of 2018. Upon completion, it will consist of 60 bedrooms, a rooftop bar and restaurant, ground floor bar and restaurant, coffee shop and terrace area.
